I personally think that bows shouldn't shoot when the button is pressed, But when it's released. That's how I got used to bows in any game that included one.
I think this would help differentiate the Bow from other weapons. At the moment it feels like a slightly stronger version of a Magnum. It does 5 more damage and is consistent at that because it seems it cannot crit at all. I almost never find the projectile fall-off making a difference because most encounters happen at close range; I end up simply kiting opponents as if I were using a shotgun.

The Bow should have a very short (1 second?) charge time at the end of which max damage will be dealt (30). Weapon glint/spark can be shown briefly to signify the Bow is fully charged. If the Bow is shot from the hip/without charging it'll deal half damage. A partial charge will deal anywhere between 15 to 30 damage depending on how long the attack button has been held. This will make the Bow unique, up the skill ceiling of using it while making kills with it feel more rewarding.

I partly disagree. I know most of this game's encounters happen at close range. But bows are an absolute advantage when it comes to far range. Projectile falling makes it easier to get players behind cover, Or players that are on a platform above you. You just need to master range and timing. I had many encounters where I shoot a bow upwards to hit a player on a platform, The arrow misses and launches to the sky, Dude thinks he's safe, Then my arrow falls staright on his head. The bow is now actually my favourite third slot (rifles) weapon. (used to be sniper rifle)

Weapons with no spare magazine (i.e. Flamethrower and M60) cannot be restocked using the ammo cache in the helicopter on Helipad. While I understand that they get no extra magazines, they should still be able to be restocked to full ammo using it.

So you know that animation where if you’re holding on to a ledge and press the opposite direction of the way your character is facing, well yea that. What if we gave that animation a purpose and make it so that you can shoot with handguns (with one hand of course) and throw knives/grenades/shurikens/bottles etc...

Please stop ignoring me or I’ll cry. (The animation is when you might be holding on a crack on a right-side wall, then hit left, and your character turns around)
I actually made a suggestion about being able to aim and shoot while holding onto ladders and ledges. https://www.mythologicinteractiveforums ... ges#p15215
I was pretty young and dumb ass then. Wish I had suggested that later rather than sooner.
I still like the idea though, but it must have a downside; Maybe decreased accuracy?

Thanks, Nah no need for a downside, the downside would be that you can only do this with handguns like pistols, and adding this to ladders would probably be cool too, didn’t think of that. I don’t recall ever trying a game where you can shoot while climbing ladders.
Yeah, I never liked having to jump, shoot and grab the ladder again. It's slow and hard.

In the host options menu, allow hosts to select which method the game will use to determine the next map in the queue - by voting (the default and the only option currently), by map order (one after another alphabetically), or by a random shuffle. My suggestion is mainly focused on the latter option - I am suggesting you allow hosts to remove the voting ability (including that of the host) and consequentially remove the long idle time that comes with it.

I want the game to just select a random map for me every few rounds so that I don't have to press vote keys or wait the voting period out. Just let me play whichever map you select for me without waiting.

Agreed. I agree with suggestions that involve making a feature optional. Giving freedom to the player (the host in this case, what players can and can't do.) is always a step on the plus side.

You are able to replace MP3 files. Just download the music you want, go into the music folder, Rename the file that you want to change the music to, to an already existed music file (ex. Shards, Zombie Nightmare etc) then replace the music file in that folder.

For more in-depth instructions, I recommend looking at these posts linked here and here.

"/startscript" should be shortened to "/start" and "/stopscript" should be shortened to "/stop".

"/startscripts" should start all scripts in the library. "/stopscripts" should stop all currently running scripts.

When using "/reloadscripts", you should receive feedback on whether the scripts were successfully refreshed or not. A chat message like "Scripts have been reloaded successfully" will suffice. Whenever I execute the command (a lot when testing scripts) I'm left wondering whether the changes I made have actually been applied or whether I misspelled the word which caused the command not to register.

The error that disables scripts when they contain errors says "Script contain errors" instead of "Script contains errors". This makes the game unplayable for me and should be fixed immediately.

The bastard birds that you free from cages should die in one shot, not sure why the hell they take like 3 Uzi shots and not fucking die.

Shuriken don't break glass windows for some reason. This should be changed.

To expand on Kers ideas. I'd like to see some shortcuts in the input field. Currently there is none, you cant even move the cursor left or right by pressing the arrow keys. I use shortcuts in terminal a lot so it would be a great QoL feature for power users

- Left/Right: Move cursor left/right one character
- Ctrl-Left/Ctrl-Right: Move the cursor backward/forward one word
- Home/End: Move the cursor to start/end of line
- Up/Down: Go backward/forward the command history
- Ctrl-Delete: Delete forward to word break
- Ctrl-Backspace: Delete back to word break

Maybe add max history option in config.ini to limit the number of commands saved in history.

Port all the in-game tips into an easy-to-read .txt file that will allow players to add their own custom hints, anecdotes or fun facts. Players will then be able to share their custom .txt files to help beginners and veterans alike familiarize themselves with new strategies and exploits.

The game should continue on when there is a streetsweeper present, despite the fact that the rest of the opponents are dead.

Add /ipa [0-1] command for infinite powerup ammo. That means special bullets never reduce from weapon that equipped them. Still needs /ia 1 to be set for infinite ammo since it only affects the power. Very handy in general for maps where you want special ammo to be used the whole time or just make them not annoyingly disappear when having fun on chaotic servers.

Please consider color coding street Sweepers. My teammates sometimes end up shooting our own drones and it's frustrating. This is also more visually appealing in my opinion.

You know that semi-transparent black box around the chat when you type something? When you hold "z", I think there should be a black box too.
